In the aftermath of the horror in Mumbai last week, Twitter has come of age, or, as the New York Times put it "evolved from an oddity to a full-fledged news platform."
I followed the hype about Twitter when it first reared it's 2.0 head a few years back but, like many, didn't get it. I started using it more regularly following a MarketingProfs conference in Boston last spring and now I'm finding myself drawn to it more and more to the extent that it's cutting into my blogging. (SORRY!)
Or I should say, my "macro-blogging," since Twitter is a micro-blogging platform and, in many ways, it resurrects the original vision of blogging as "brief updates on places you've been on the web." It improves on this original vision, however, by reducing your immediate audience from the billions of web inhabitants to the much more manageable community of your followers.
So. My name is Matthew T. Grant (@Aquentminister on Twitter), and I'm a Twitter Addict.
Mind if I follow you?
I'm addicted to twitter too. I blame my friend Marc. Never jumped on the blogging bandwagon. Like twitter because it's so easy. Anyways. Look forward to following you. I'm @lalamax.
